Joel Embiid Questionable Against Charlotte
11 months agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The reigning MVP logged 31 minutes in Friday's win over the Orlando Magic, scoring 36 points and draining all 11 attempts from the charity stripe. But he's dealing with left knee soreness, so there's a good chance he won't suit up versus the nine-win Hornets. Of course, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Tobias Harris should absorb most of the scoring opportunities without Embiid in the lineup. However, Paul Reed, averaging 10.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and 1.2 steals this season in games without Embiid, is worth streaming in deeper fantasy setups.
